vim-oscyank VS neovim

I'm usung this plugin and map it to https://github.com/ojroques/vim-oscyank

Yes OSC 52 is very handy for vim over SSH: instead of X11 forwarding - you can just yank text from remote vim into the local clipboard using OSC 52 [1].

Overall it's much quicker - as yanking in vim with X11 forwarding and '+clipboard' sometimes had a delay.

(ps: I think OSC 52 is implemented in xterm and URXVT, but not yet in gnome-terminal)

If your terminal supports it (iterm, kitty, later versions of gnome-terminal and others) this osc52 plugin is really sweet. It even works over ssh.

Hey! I've had some issues with this as well, I opted for this vim plugin, vim-oscyank, which uses escape characters to inform tmux (and therefore your terminal) of your clipboard contents.

The plugin itself is a rewrite in Lua of another plugin of mine, vim-oscyank with a clean-up of the code logic (and it allows me to remove one more Vimscript plugin from my config :p)

I just use this [0] vim plugin to copy in vim. For copying from the CLI in ssh I use this app [1]. Both leverage OSC52 escape codes which are pretty widely supported by terminals nowadays.

Need to figure out an equally simple solution for CLI paste support though.

Have you looked into vim-oscyank. It uses an ANSI escape sequence to copy to clipboard, provided your terminal supports it (most modern ones do).

Thank you everyone for the help! I spent a few days messing with these solutions. FOR ME: vim-oscyank worked best.

As a software engineer, choosing and understanding your text editor is important part of your work, as it impacts your productivity and workflow efficiency. It's like choosing the perfect tool for any trade - you need to know what tool to use and how to use it effectively if you want to excel. For me, I use Neovim as my editor and I have been using it for a little over a year now.

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack. If you don't have Git, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/downloads

There are several ways to install Neovim. This wiki provides several guidelines on how to install Neovim.

All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.
